Add documentation about the Timer/Counter Unit (TCU) present in the
Ingenic JZ47xx SoCs.
The Timer/Counter Unit (TCU) in Ingenic JZ47xx SoCs is a multi-function
hardware block. It features up to to eight channels, that can be used as
counters, timers, or PWM.
- JZ4725B, JZ4750, JZ4755 only have six TCU channels. The other SoCs all
have eight channels.
- JZ4725B introduced a separate channel, called Operating System Timer
(OST). It is a 32-bit programmable timer. On JZ4770 and above, it is
64-bit.
- Each one of the TCU channels has its own clock, which can be reparented
to three different clocks (pclk, ext, rtc), gated, and reclocked, through
their TCSR register.
* The watchdog and OST hardware blocks also feature a TCSR register with
the same format in their register space.
* The TCU registers used to gate/ungate can also gate/ungate the watchdog
and OST clocks.
- Each TCU channel works in one of two modes:
* mode TCU1: channels cannot work in sleep mode, but are easier to
operate.
* mode TCU2: channels can work in sleep mode, but the operation is a bit
more complicated than with TCU1 channels.
- The mode of each TCU channel depends on the SoC used:
* On the oldest SoCs (up to JZ4740), all of the eight channels operate in
TCU1 mode.
* On JZ4725B, channel 5 operates as TCU2, the others operate as TCU1.
* On newest SoCs (JZ4750 and above), channels 1-2 operate as TCU2, the
others operate as TCU1.
- Each channel can generate an interrupt. Some channels share an interrupt
line, some don't, and this changes between SoC versions:
* on older SoCs (JZ4740 and below), channel 0 and channel 1 have their
own interrupt line; channels 2-7 share the last interrupt line.
* On JZ4725B, channel 0 has its own interrupt; channels 1-5 share one
interrupt line; the OST uses the last interrupt line.
* on newer SoCs (JZ4750 and above), channel 5 has its own interrupt;
channels 0-4 and (if eight channels) 6-7 all share one interrupt line;
the OST uses the last interrupt line.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
